Force India has officially confirmed Sergio Perez will remain at the team for 2017.Perezs future has been the subject of much uncertainty in recent weeks, with the Mexican drivers sponsors unable to finalise a deal with Force India. That led to speculation of moves to Renault, Williams and even Haas.Perez intimdated over the Malaysian Grand Prix weekend he would be staying for another year, news Force India confirmed on Sunday evening after his drive to sixth at Sepang.Im pleased to confirm that I will be racing with Sahara Force India in 2017 as the team and my supporters have concluded their agreements, Perez confirmed. Im very happy with this team and I have a good feeling for the future.Force India is currently battling for fourth in the constructors championship and Perez says the improvements hes seen the team make since he joined in 2014 have been a big reason for him staying.Ive seen the progress weve made over last couple of years and Im sure we have the potential to achieve even more going forward.

Im excited for the rest of this season and for the challenge that awaits all of us in 2017.I thank all the team for believing in me and I will do my best repay their faith with points, podiums and hopefully wins.

Sean Doolittle Jersey . -- Three close looks at the bucket, three misses. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Chloe Esposito emerged from the tunnel into Deodoro Stadium, her bright, white teeth sparkling in the lights.The smile stuck with her on the long walk to the medal stand, through presentations of bronze and silver, and onto the top step.Esposito had just claimed Australias first medal in modern pentathlon and added the first Olympic gold to her familys decorated athletic history.That smile isnt going away anytime soon.I knew this day was going to come when everything came together, Esposito said after capturing gold in an Olympic record of 1,372 points Friday at the Rio de Janeiro Games. Today was the day and Im so thankful it was today.Elodie Clouvel of France captured silver and Oktawia Nowacka of Poland earned bronze.Esposito was solid throughout the five events of the pentathlon: seventh after swimming, sixth through fencing, up to fourth following equestrian.Her best event is the running-shooting combination in the finale, so she knew gold was still within reach.Esposito charged from the start, making up ground quickly while slowing herself down enough to hit her targets on the shooting range. The 24-year-old from Sydney had the second-fastest time through the four 800-meter segments and missed just one target to make her way to the top of the podium from fourth place.Not bad for someone who had limited training early in the year because of an Achilles tendon injury.All the hard training the past four years, its been a tough road, especially this year I had a few injuries, Esposito said. Nothing was easy.Esposito had been training for this moment all her life.Her father, Daniel, competed for Australia in modern pentathlon at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. He brother, Max, will compete in modern pentathlon on Saturday and her sister, Emily, is a former pentathlete who competed in sshooting at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.ddddddddddddCompetition was just a part of the Esposito household -- especially when it came to fencing with Emily -- and helped put her in position to make history for family and country.Since Ive been young, Ive known I wanted to go to Olympic Games and I was lucky enough to come to my second Olympics and have the support of my family, said Esposito, who finished seventh at the 2012 London Games. Being able to train with them has been amazing and I couldnt ask for anything more.Esposito wasnt the only one with athletic genes.Clouvels mother, Annick, was a national distance running champion and her father, Pascal, set a national record in the 5,000 meters.The world-record holder in modern pentathlon swimming, Clouvel was solid all day and entered the final events in second, 12 points behind Nowacka. She couldnt catch Esposito, though, finishing nearly a minute off the winning time in running and needed 34 shots to hit 20 targets.Clouvel fell 16 points short of gold, but still earned her countrys first Olympic medal in modern pentathlon since 1984, when its mens team took bronze.It was a very good day, Clouvel said through a translator. My shooting is not so good, so I was just thinking, `Run fast, run fast. But I got the medal and its fantastic.Nowacka surged to the lead after winning the one-touch fencing event and remained there after a solid run in equestrian. She was in the lead early during the running-shooting competition, but began to fade over the final 800 meters.But, like Clouvel, she was able to break a long modern pentathlon drought for her country; the medal was Polands first in the sport since the 1992 Barcelona Games.
